How climate variables affect the distribution of mosquito-borne viruses?
The 2016-2022 Yellow Fever (YF) wave was unprecedented. It breached historical barriers, spreading from the Amazon through the Cerrado and into the densely populated Atlantic Forest.
Critical questions:
Temperature anomalies are the biological constraints of the virus. The viral incubation speed depends on temperature conditions (Bellone and Failoux, 2025; Johanssen et al, 2010).
Relationship between temperature and R0 value for Yellow Fever virus transmission.
